Being able to describe quantity values and their unit is a requirement that is common for many applications in several industrial sectors such as manufacturing, transport and logistics, personal and public health, smart cities, energy, environment, buildings, agriculture. Different ontologies have been developed to describe units, their relations, and quantities with their values.
We propose an alternative approach based on RDF Datatypes [rdf11-concepts], that leverages the Unified Code of Units of Measures [UCUM], a code system intended to
The custom datatypes introduced in this section can be used for lightweight encoding and querying of quantity values, in a wide range of applications where representing and reasoning with quantity kinds and values is more important than reasoning with units.
This section is non-normative.
